Do you know a runner.... on Twitter?
One of the cool things I have found on Twitter (Follow me) is the community of runners I have found so far. I have searched and found some, and then found some that they were following, etc, etc. But I would like to build that group a little more for both inspiration and motivation.
I know I have not been able to bring much to the conversations on Twitter concerning running, but I promise to be more of a community runner.... once I can start running again.
If you are a runner please respond with your twitter address so others can follow you. If you know of any runners that twitter, why not give them a boost of followers as well by listing their address.
To make it even more fun and see how much we can get this to grow, when you follow someone you have found here, let them know where you found them.

we're already hooked up on twitter, but thought I'd comment and leave it to say HI to others.

Hello again, Tim,
My twitters aren't always running-related (I've got 5 blogs, of which one is about running! ;-)), but I do twitter often about running. My handle is "cyberpenguin." Big surprise. ;-) Of course you & Andrew are two of the runners I follow! ;-)

I'm @hellasound on Twitter.
BUT, we also have a little Twitter app for Hella Sound--the Twitter username is @GoRun, and it allows you to direct message your tweets to www.HellaSound/GoRun. Share your workouts, your races, links to resources and blog posts--go nuts. You can also comment on anyone's Tweets as if they were blog posts.
I know folks sometimes post questions or look for feedback from other runners on there, so it's a good place to share your expertise.
Great topic (AGAIN) Tim! Good stuff!

I'm from Waterloo, Ontario Canada and have been running for 2.5 years.
While I usually post to Twitter via www.dailymile.com, I'm iphwin. 99% of my tweets are from there but I might post other stuff randomly.
Ach, I wish I'd found this thread while I was training for the New York City Marathon this past summer (ran a 2:48:00 for my first marathon - even got the "fastest CEO" notable in New York Runner Magazine :-)). Right after New York, I went to the doctor, got my low abdominal pain diagnosed as a hernia, had the surgery, and now have to wait until March before I can run again. So not many running-related tweets until I can start training again, but I tweet at http://twitter.com/adamengst (mostly Apple- and cooking-related topics when I can't run).
cheers... -Adam

This is really interesting take on the concept. I never thought of it that way. I came across this site recently which I think will be of great use http://www.playerpress.com/ . Have a look!
I'll have to start a list of runners to follow. Most of my Twitter posts are related to my work in PowerPoint and in corporate communications in general, but running is a big part of my life and has been for a couple of decades.
